Chapter 652: The Chen family is rising and the families are retreating

The carriage that Bao Jingyan was riding did not reach Dai County until five days later. However, after he arrived in Dai County more than a day ago, the news spread. The old people, the three elders, and even some officials along the way came out to greet and comfort each other, and thanked each other.

In this regard, Bao Jingyan only maintained politeness and did not stay too much, but rushed all the way towards Dai County.

The closer you get to the Dai County, the more you can notice the traces left by the war, but these traces are somewhat different from those that Bao Jingyan has seen.

You should know that on the way to the north with Chen Zhi, they almost crossed the boundaries of Hebei, passing through Xuzhou, Qingzhou edge and central Jizhou. There was also a post-war scene, but there were refugees everywhere in the area, famine everywhere, and deserted and crowded within a hundred miles can be seen everywhere.

Even many forts and manors have more than themselves to protect themselves, and they are hard to have other ideas. There are even many forts, which have not been harvested for years due to war disasters and eventually become dead cities.

Of course, the situation in many places in Jizhou is that war disasters last too long, but no good will happen if soldiers pass by. Bao Jingyan has seen it with his own eyes that the refugees burn, kill, looting when they pass by, and those people even tried to rob Chen Zhi and his convoy!

By analogy, the Xianbei soldiers would not be even more polite. However, Bao Jingyan saw the people he looked tired and embarrassed along the way, but he did not look much suffering.

"This is Dai County, which is a little different from what I heard." Even Wang Gou, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but speak after watching along the way. "According to the military, Dai County is very difficult and often attacked by Hu people. It is very common for his wife and children to be separated. Many people have become refugees, going south and north, and they can't stop them. But along the way, it seems that many farmers gathered around the forts and villages and towns, and they are still farming!"

The more he said, the more confused the look on his face became: "Didn't it mean that a large army was attacking a while ago? For any military campaign, whether it was our Central Plains or the Hu soldiers, even if they saw that there were crops and grains in this land, they would burn them up to prevent the enemy from investing in. Why would there be so many left here?"

After hearing what he said, Bao Jingyan couldn't help but sigh that the people in the border areas were indeed fierce, so that Wang Gou's simple words made him sweat almost when he said it.

After pondering for a while, Bao Jingyan said: "This is probably related to the raid of the Xianbei people. They planned to catch Dai County off guard. As a result, they lost a lot as soon as they contacted each other and ran away. They did not have the opportunity to invade the surrounding area. They were too late to escape, otherwise they would easily be caught and chased all the way..."

He said this, but he was thinking in his heart how the method was used in this city to defeat the Xianbei soldiers and horses in an instant. You must know that even if it was a cavalry, there were tens of thousands of people. How did it be done?

Wang Gou didn't think so much, but he was just sighing at the strength of the Dai County garrison and couldn't help but yearn for it.

However, as the carriage was walking, a chaotic burst suddenly broke out in front, and then there was a chaotic footsteps. Then a man dressed in a general, with a group of soldiers, rushed over from the front, and rushed over. The first few people stopped him as soon as they saw Bao Jingyan's carriage, and then spoke out and asked them to open the car and ask them to search.

"If you don't ask who is sitting in my car, you are too brave! Are you really not afraid of offending a noble person?" The driver who drove the car frowned and scolded him coldly.

This person took Bao Jingyan to Wang Jun's side before, but Bao Jingyan was detained and placed under house arrest. The envoys who were traveling with the envoys were also punished. The coachman was naturally no exception and suffered a lot.

As a result, the turn of the circle was changed. With Bao Jingyan being released, the group of people gathered again. They also vaguely realized that the people from all over Ji County had changed their attitude towards self-confidence and others. At first, they were arrogant and looked down on themselves and others. When they left, although they showed hatred, they still had a slight fear.

When everyone learned about Daijun, they immediately raised their backs. Along the way, they were beloved again. Even if they were following Bao Jingyan, they also became arrogant. Of course, they would not be polite when they met ordinary soldiers.

When the soldiers heard the coachman's tone, they knew they were not ordinary people and immediately hesitated.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" At this time, the general who was watching from behind came over, "Who in the car did not cooperate with the investigation?"

A soldier whispered, "The team leader seems to be not an ordinary person."

"Isn't it an ordinary person?" The team leader looked at the carriage and saw that there were many damages. However, his eyes swept over a sign on it and was immediately startled. Then he immediately changed his face and bowed his hand to the car and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Bao. Mr. Wu was frightened. Chen Tiande was down and met Mr. Chen."

On the carriage, Wang Gou couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. Although he was a soldier, he had some origins. He followed Bao Jingyan all the way around these days and gradually let go. He felt even more vaguely Bao Jingyan's identity and status. He heard the movement outside the carriage, and was not afraid at all. Instead, he waited, wanting to see what the soldiers reacted after Bao Jingyan's identity was announced. As a result, the good show was only halfway through, and the people outside the carriage had already seen the clues, which immediately made Wang Gou feel a little regretful.

However, he immediately realized that he could pay attention and recognize the mark of Daijun in the carriage at once, and was not an ordinary team leader.

Sure enough, Bao Jingyan lifted the Chelian and smiled and said, "It turned out to be the leader of Team Chen. I had seen you in Chenzhuang before, but I didn't expect that I have become a soldier now. I still start with the leader. I wonder who you are going to search here?"

"It's my honor for Mr. Bao to remember me," Chen Tiande looked flattered. "I came here this time to capture a Xianbei soldier. This man was good at it. He was surrounded, but he took a long sword and killed several good players in a row. He broke through the encirclement and fled to a village in front. He hid for a few days. The village was named Yangjia Village."

"Oh? There is also such a thing, so you must be more cautious," Bao Jingyan nodded, "Since that's the case, please send someone to the car to search."

Chen Tiande quickly waved his hand and shook his head and said, "I dare not, Mr. Bao took the envoy to Wang Jun for the sake of my prefect. What a dangerous thing that is. In terms of credit, he will not allow two Yang Jun to hide the fugitives. Look at you like this, you have just come back. My prefect must be waiting for you. Do you want me to send a few soldiers to escort along the way?"

"Then you don't have to bother the team leader." Bao Jingyan said just now. He didn't want the other party to really search and make trouble. Since the other party was so good, he would go back on the road after a few polite words.

"What is the origin of this team leader Chen?" After the carriage and horses left, Wang Gou came up to ask for advice.

Bao Jingyan smiled and said, "You have no guesses when you hear his surname is Chen?"

Wang Gou immediately asked: "Is it from the Chen family of Xia Pi? The family of the prefect?"

"It's the Chen family in Pengcheng," Bao Jingyan named Chen Tiande's identity. "This person is considered to be the same clan of the prefect, but he is only a distant relative. There are many Chen family members in Dai County now, but they have been divided into several groups, most of whom gathered in Chenzhuang. Most of them now have positions. After all, some things can only be done by their identities."

"So that's it," Wang Gou nodded, and then said, "I heard that there are four major families in Dai County, which seem to be the King, Zheng, Zhu, and Tang, and these four families. Now it seems that they will be included in the Chen family in the future."

"The Chen family sent so many people, including many craftsmen, and they obviously planned to leave branches here. Now that the prefect has defeated the Xianbei and truly gained a foothold, the Chen family will inevitably develop rapidly. It will not be harmful to have a good relationship with the Chen family."

Bao Jingyan said, and suddenly changed his mind: "However, the four major families you just mentioned are likely to change now. The Zheng family has declined, and the Chen family has risen strongly, so it can be replaced."

Wang Gou said again: "I heard that there is another Chen family in Dai County, which is quite profound and has great potential. Will it become Hengwu families in the future?"

"You know a lot," Bao Jingyan glanced at Wang Gou deeply and changed the subject. "The Chen family is in trouble now, and it is probably not a big problem to decline like the Zheng family."

The two of them were chatting like this, but gradually outlined the entire family territory of Dai County. At the same time, the city of Dai County was already far away.

On the other hand, the Liu family, which was talked about by the two, is now in panic. Many people have left Dai County and gone to other places, hoping to avoid disaster in order to avoid being involved in Liu Fu's affairs.

But compared to the others, Liu Bao, Liu Qing and his son, they can see clearly.

"If you really involve yourself, it will be useless to run anywhere," Liu Bao had no reservations about his son. "If you can follow the Zheng family and exchange most of your wealth for the prefect's refusal to pursue it, that would be considered good."

Liu Qing sighed and said, "But the group of people left by Liu Fu now want to contact Liu Kui in the south. It is too confused to use Liu Kui's identity as the prefect of Poyang to make peace with Chen. At this time, there is no peace at all. We just need fish on the board. It is best to lower our heads quickly, but even the prefect is confused. Since we have admitted defeat, why not just be a little bit?"

"The Taigong is not confused. He doesn't want to watch the decline of the Liu family. Half of the property is not a small number. How many people are involved in it? How much money, caravan? It's not so easy to make up your mind!" Liu Bao frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "But things can't continue. At the beginning, I was not determined enough, which caused the disaster today. But now there is no time left for me to hesitate. Our Liu family must make choices! Only by letting the prefect put aside their prejudices can we talk about future development!"
